I went to see an apartment last Friday afternoon. It wasn’t really in my preferred neighborhood, but when I got there, I really liked it. The size and layout were just right, and I could definitely see myself putting a lot of work into it and staying for a long time. I tried to appeal to [...] Last month I went to visit America for a couple weeks and I recorded the entire trip on the Twitter. Here are all my tweets, from the minute my vacation began to when I got back home. Sorry they’re in reverse order – I can’t find a tool that will export them from first to [...] If nerd packs and belt hangdowns instantly imply prole leanings, there are other signs almost as clear. When you’re wearing a shirt with a sweater or jacket over it but omitting a necktie, what do you do with the shirt collar? Keeping all of it inside both sweater and jacket is upper- or upper-middle-class, partly, [...] I took this picture when the Skatalites came to Tel Aviv in September. I never thought they’d come to perform in Israel, so it was a special treat to see them play at the Barby. I was not so surprised that they put on a fantastic show, since I’d seen them also in New York [...] I’ve loved Craigslist’s Missed Connections for years. Depending on the city and the size of its hipster population, I always know I’m likely to find some charming and creative writing among the crude, earnest and businesslike posts. Occasionally I make up “missed connections” and post them in other cities’ Craigslists. At first I wondered if anyone [...] I didn’t see this Gmail feature announced anywhere, so when it came up today in my inbox, I was very pleasantly surprised! A while back, I bought something from Macy’s online. I had no desire to receive any further communication from Macy’s, but they started sending me crass commercial advertisements via email anyway. My normal policy [...] At Green Prophet, I’ve learned that Tel Aviv’s “old” Central Bus Station has been demolished. Fortunately, I never found myself inside it; from what I’d heard and read in Haaretz and other places, it was an urban nightmare of the kind with which people like me prefer to be acquainted only via grisly television programs like [...] In honor of my friends in America, that hyper-litigious society, most of whom by now are attorneys, and each of whom I assured that the world most certainly did not need another Jew lawyer, And in honor of myself, for deciding almost 20 years ago that a lawyer was the last thing I would ever let [...] Very much in line with my belief that everything in life looks cooler when graphed, which led me to Graph Jam, here are two of the coolest little websites I’ve seen in a long while: Books That Make You Dumb and, for people who don’t like to read, Music That Makes You Dumb. The idea [...] There was an article in Slate back in, I think, April that mentioned this guy who’s making autotuned cable news mashups and putting them on youtube. He’s awesome and his videos are hilarious, and even just bad enough (eg, fake mustache falling off) to be even funnier than if he’d had a tremendous budget. Check out [...] |
